Based on the life of 19th Century French actor and playwright, François Joseph Talma, this story of historical fiction entitled 'Talon' by Bruno Chanson of France is this week's selection for the Celtx POW.
A translation of the tagline indicates,
" 'TALMA, the portrait of an actor at work' - According to Mlle George, an actress of great talent and also one of his partners, Talma was one of the greatest players of all time. At the end of his sixty year life, she remembered him as: The actor at work, tireless creator, leaving beautiful reflections on his art, unfortunately too little known."
Including numerous documents, background information, accompanying video and visual support material (some examples: Francois Joseph Talon, French Theatre, Comédie Française) it's clear that Bruno thought things through and put a great deal of research and effort into this most interesting subject. As a result, it serves as a terrific illustration of the versatility of the Celtx application.
Some research into the life of this project's creator indicates the multi-talented Bruno Chansou shares similar passions as his subject... a writer of plays and feature films, photographer, and an actor who has studied extensively with Jack Waltzer. In 2007 Bruno wrote and produced the short film, The Poupazzous.
Perhaps one day, when history repeats itself we'll discover a project of the week entitled, 'Chansou' ;)
Félicitations et Bonne Chance, Bruno!
